Sean Scully

11 Apr 2015 — 28 Jun 2015

First major exhibition of the Irish artist in Brazil, the show, curated by Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, presents 46 works produced between 1947 and 2014.

One of the most renowned abstract painters from the late 20th century, Scully‘s (b. 1945) production comprises geometric forms and a varied palette that goes from black, brown and red to vibrant colours such as blue pink and canary yellow. Scully’s works have rarely been seen in Brazil: before this show, he only participated in the Bienal de São Paulo and in an exhibition at Centro de Arte Hélio Oiticica (Rio de Janeiro), in 2002.

The Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo is a visual arts museum with an emphasis on Brazilian production from the 19th century until today. Founded in 1905 by the São Paulo State Government, it’s the city’s oldest art museum. It is installed in a historic building designed by Ramos de Azevedo. In 2004, Pinacoteca incorporated the former Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana (Sorocabana Railway Station) building, renovated by Haron Cohen, which became the Estação Pinacoteca.
